was looking back upon the year in the bath and thought it'll be good to let all my thoughts out while i wait for the drowsiness (not too sure if it'll happen) to set in and for my hair to dry.
year 2011 has definitely flew past in an instance, either they say that good times past fast or the saying that when one reaches 20, everything happens at lightning speed and before you know, you'll be celebrating your 30th bday. *shudders*
this year, i've accomplished some stuffs that has been on my list for a long while which includes revamping my room and the living room. i have full-length mirror and curtains in my room now, with a larger study table and shelves for my photos and stuffs. the living room looks much cosier and im back to watching tv on the sofa till i fall aslp.
actually, most of the stuffs i'll have to credit to A who helps me, else i dont think they'll be done at all. he drilled the curtains for me and pushed me to go ahead to do my room. despite his sinus, he still helped me clear the old furniture and went furniture shopping with me. yes, so in a year, i see him almost 340/365 days. 25 days +- holidays and exam self study time, his reservist days and my days out with the girls. cant help it since we're in the same class for every mod, same project group and even on the weekends, its either spent at home cooking or going out with our same group of friends. Sundays belong to church and teaching tuition.
talking about heading to church with A on Sundays, i believe it has started to bring out the better side of me. at first like many, i thought it'll be tons of brainwashing on how great the christians are etc. but it turned out kinda different from what i was expecting, i actually liked how the priest share his view on certain matters every week. he talks about very simple things like loving one another and forgiveness for example. amazing how after every time i kneel to pray, i feel a surge of emotions in me that i could never explain. if one would ask me what i always pray for, it was always the simplest of all things that everyone around me would be safe and healthy for i believe there is nothing more important than that.
2011 has definitely been a hectic year, completed 2 sems, leaving 2 more sems for 2012 till i graduate in August. its scary knowing that i'll be working in a year's time, for i am unsure how the working world will be like and where will i end up in. am looking forward to working with magazine or event companies or perhaps the health promotion board (HPB) since i am for a healthy lifestyle too. mum wants me to try out for SIA stewardess too, so maybe i'll give it a go? am not too sure since i've been hearing many stories that it ain't as glam as it seems. i'll see where life takes me.
not forgetting, A and I have been saying that we'll go on a grad trip after graduating, before working life starts. so so so many places i wanna go, but so so little money. am thinking of starting a piggybank that states 'overseas fund' where i'll drop $10 or more in it every week and save up till then. ha, more practical steps then just saying that i'll save right. we could head to thialand so i can shop till i drop, or perhaps somewhere we both have not been to before, like cambodia? or save up a little more and visit a few places near to each other for like 2 weeks, eg laos +cambodia+vietnam? im not really sure, shall save $ first and look out for tour package when the time nears.
ive been a better person in 2011 and i hope for 2012 to stay the same.
2011 ive learnt,
- to let go and look on the brighter side of life,
- that bearing grudges has no meaning at all cus in the end its myself who im hurting with all the hatred in me.
- that i can't control all situations and i can only choose my reaction towards it.
- the need to lower my ego since there isn't a constant need to out-win one another
- that racism is still apparent in singapore
- love A even more
- spend more time with friends and family
- take active steps in decreasing my weight
yes, just these 3 cause i really can't think of more things.
i am happy with my life as it is now and i can't ask for more. i have the most understanding boyfriend who is ever so caring and romantic, who tolerates all my nonsense (blame the pms) so how can i not love him more. i've not regret getting into this relationship and am looking forward to many more happy years! :) 2ndly, i mean, who doesnt want extra time with friends and family, but schwork is draining every bit of energy out of me. yet, i think i could still figure out some time if i do some proper time management. ive been having the 3rd resolution since forever but this year i am determine to achieve it, perhaps losing 1kg every month would be ideal.
looking back on this post, its actually kinda messy eh, oh wells im gonna blame it on the med. but more or less, ive got all thats on my mind down on this very space. gonna crash and looking forward to nye countdown at the usual place. gonna be decked out in lotsa sequins, starting the new year with a bling!
